"How should I put it? I just want to ask you, do you like gentleness or toughness?"
"What?"
"So, you want something soft?"
Achilles appeared behind Kyosuke, holding an opened bottle of Spirytus in his hand. Kyosuke could smell the strong smell of alcohol emanating from the bottle from a distance.
"Still want it hard?"
"Ow—!"
Hercules walked out from the shadows, took out a small black bag and a small wooden stick (compared to his size) and walked towards Kyosuke.
Chiron said to Kyosuke in a gentle and persuasive manner, "You want to be drunk and put in a sack and carried away, or you want to be knocked unconscious and put in a sack and carried away. Kyosuke, you choose one. Since you don't say anything, I will assume that you choose the hard one. Then everything is up to you, Hercules."
"Ow—!"
"Wait a minute, what's going on? I don't remember not paying for my meal during the day!"
"I'm sorry, this is a necessary sacrifice for a great ideal. Just accept your fate." Chiron's gentle and reliable expression was no longer there. Kyosuke now felt that the other party was really, really a masochist.
"Wait a minute! There must be something wrong. Uncle Hai, do you still remember me? I'm Kyosuke!"
Kyosuke tried to evoke Hercules' memory by gesticulating, but unfortunately the other party had no reaction at all and continued to walk slowly towards him.
"Don't worry, there is no mistake. Kyousuke, rest in peace. Amen."
You are a Greek mythologist speaking Christian words, aren't you afraid that Zeus will kill you with a thunderbolt? Also, can't you try something different? I am tired of you always using the same trick!
With such thoughts in mind, Kyosuke fell into darkness.

"Another unfamiliar ceiling... What the hell is that ceiling?! Why do I always run into this kind of situation? If this continues, I'll lose consciousness as often as the sleeping Maori Kogoro!"
Kyousuke threw the bed sheet to the ground.
"Why do I feel the floor shaking again?"
Kyosuke turned over and got out of bed, but he didn't stand firmly and sat down on the bed again.
"Wait a minute... Could it be..."
Kyosuke looked out the window. He originally thought he was in a seaside suite, but the floating clouds immediately dispelled this guess.
Kyosuke walked out of the room, holding on to the wall, and came to the balcony. What came into view was the blue sky, the endless sea, and the seagulls flying among the white clouds.
Kyosuke grabbed the railing with both hands and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. If his eyes were not mistaken, all signs indicated that he was on a huge cruise ship.
"This...this...where the hell is this?!"
Chapter 38 Kyosuke: There is only a fine line between cuteness and illness
Kyosuke was blown by the sea breeze on the balcony for a long time. He returned to the room only after he was sure that he was not dreaming and was really on the sea. Even so, he was still in a daze because he had no idea what was going on. Except for a big bump on the back of his head, he had no memory of how he got on the ship.
"Hiss - it hurts. Should I thank Uncle Hai for not smashing my head?"
Kyosuke looked around. This was just an ordinary luxury suite. Apart from the extremely gorgeous decoration, there were no personal belongings left by the owner of the room. The only thing that was out of place in the room was the suitcase that Kyosuke brought with him when he went out for a trip yesterday.
"So, Godmother's event is not a summer festival, but a cruise on the sea?"
After washing his face in the bathroom and feeling a little sober, Kyosuke slowly walked out of the room, holding on to the wall. He found that the cabin corridor was quiet, which gave Kyosuke the illusion that he was the only one on the entire ship.
"Hello?! Is anyone there?"
"You're awake, Master Kyousuke."
Kyosuke was so frightened by the sound behind him that he jumped up. When he turned around, he found a girl with short black hair and a maid uniform standing behind him.
"Ah! It's you."
Kyosuke had the impression that the other person seemed to be a member of the Nordic Valkyries, but unfortunately there were too many members and Kyosuke really couldn't remember the name of the person in front of him.
"If Master Kyosuke doesn't know Slude, there's no need to speak to Slude in such a familiar tone. Slude doesn't mind such things. Anyway, Slude is just the most insignificant member of the Valkyrie team."
There was no fluctuation in the Valkyrie's eyes, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her at all, but such completely lifeless eyes made Kyosuke feel uneasy.
Oh no, did I make her angry?
"No, I know you, but I can't remember your name. Do you remember? We actually met last time."
Kyosuke hurriedly explained, but it was of no use. The other party still had an expressionless poker face, making people think that he was a large life-size doll at first glance.
"Um... hello?"
Kyosuke saw that the other party didn't respond after he said several words, so he stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of the other party's eyes twice, wanting to see if the other party had fallen asleep while standing.
"Master Kyosuke, there's no need to do this. Slude can see it."
"..."
I always feel like talking to you will kill the conversation.
The other party's indifferent tone made Kyosuke feel guilty that he was bullying a disabled person.
"Well, anyway, it's nice to meet you, Miss Slude. Of course, it would be even better if you could explain what the situation is now."
"Please follow me, Master Kyousuke."
Kyosuke's words finally made the maid react, but she did not answer Kyosuke's question directly, but turned around and took Kyosuke to the cabin elevator. During the whole process, the maid did not make any movements after pressing the elevator button for the 6th floor. This completely robotic appearance made Kyosuke feel very uncomfortable.
"Um, could you explain what's going on first? I'm completely confused by your silence."
This time the maid finally responded, "I'm sorry, Master Kyosuke. Slude is just a maid. Master Gil will tell you what the situation is."
"Wait...wait a minute, Jill...sir?"
Let’s not talk about how your Nordic gods and Babylonian demigods are related, but the title alone reveals a desire to complain.
"Yes, Master Gil took us in when we were homeless and hired us as his maid team, so it is reasonable and appropriate for us Valkyries to call him Master. Do you have any other questions?"
"No, not at all."
Kyosuke didn't know what to say. Being able to pay the Nordic Valkyrie to be his exclusive maid was really... too envious! I also want to have a team of maids to serve me all day long. Kyosuke remembered that he had mentioned this to the mother of milk light before, but was rejected by the other party with "You already have me to serve you".
But thanks to Slude's explanation, Kyosuke now knows who the owner of this ship is.
"We're here, Master Kyousuke."
The numbers on the elevator display indicated that we had arrived at the 8th floor.
"here it is……"
"Please, Master Kyousuke."
After Kyosuke walked out of the elevator, he found that the Valkyrie had no intention of following him.
"Aren't you coming together?"
"Slude's job is just to bring you here after you wake up. What happens next is not within Slude's responsibility."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, Master Kyousuke."
Until the very end, Kyosuke didn't see any fluctuation in the Valkyrie's expression, which made Kyosuke feel as if she had facial paralysis.
"I'm sorry, Master Kyosuke. This is Slude's three-no, not his expressionless face. This is Slude's cute point."
The Valkyrie uttered these words just before the elevator door closed.
"Does it make any difference?"
Kyousuke's question went unanswered as the elevator door closed.
"All right……"
Kyosuke discovered that he could actually walk on his own without the Valkyrie showing him the way, because there was only this one way after exiting the elevator.
Kyosuke trembled as he pushed open the door at the end of the corridor. The scene that came into his eyes made him realize that this was the deck of the ship. But that was not the point. The point was that he saw almost everyone he knew here.
On the other side of the pool were Lily, Kirino and Kuroneko, wearing swimsuits and holding water guns. On the other side, Komachi, Yui and Helena were fighting with them. There were many familiar faces, such as Jack, who was held in the arms of the old man and rushed down from the top of the water slide. The Curse Arm and the other Hassans followed Jack all the way to prevent him from accidentally flying out of the slide. For some reason, the mother Naiguang and the monk Sanzang were wearing swimsuits but sitting face to face to discuss Buddhism. The master on one side was doing yoga-like stretching movements, but she would occasionally interject a word or two. The male heroes (including Hachiman and Zaimokuza) were all lying on two rows of folding chairs to enjoy the sun. There was a Valkyrie standing next to each person, ready to respond at any time, and they would respond in a well-trained manner to any request.
"Ah, Kyousuke, you're awake."
Jill, who was sitting on a golden folding chair at the outermost corner, saw Kyosuke, pulled down his sunglasses and greeted him.
"Welcome to my car, the Almighty Star. I hope you have a pleasant vacation."
PS: Valkyrie's voice is so cute, so I used it here, just in time for the team to appear. I originally planned to use the female sex workers from Jill's family for the maid team.
Chapter 39 Kyosuke: You won’t let it go until something happens in the locker room, right?
Seeing Jill greet him, Kyosuke immediately came up to him and asked, "Jill, can you tell me what's going on? You kidnapped someone here without telling me the reason. You're committing a crime, don't you know?"
Jill spread her hands and looked innocent. "Don't be so excited. As you can see, I just brought everyone out to play."
"You're kidding! You brought me here like a human trafficker just to have fun? Why didn't you tell me you were going to sell me to some old woman? I won't believe a word of this excuse you use to deceive a child."
"That's because I was afraid that you might have some misunderstanding and wouldn't come. You know, your misunderstanding of us has been getting deeper and deeper recently. I invited you to play the King's Game with me two days ago, but you refused. So Yukino came up with this method, and at least it seems to work well."
This makes it easier for me to misunderstand you!
"Next time, if there is a next time, I beg you not to use this method again."
Kyosuke rubbed his temples and forced himself to calm down. Although he already knew that judging these lunatics with his normal thinking would only make himself uncomfortable, sometimes he still couldn't help getting angry.
"Don't stand there anymore. Come on, sit down. I reserved this seat especially for you."
Jill pointed to the empty seat next to Kyousuke.
"No thanks, I'm going back to my room to sleep."
Kyosuke would never give these guys any chance to bully him, what if they dragged him into the swimming pool?
Gil thought that Reject was just being shy, and he wanted to persuade Reject to stay, "Kyosuke, don't be such a killjoy, at least have a drink with me before you leave."
